I think its just me, but if you have the "gay" facia that isnt 2din, and the panasonic blue door speakers, i wouldnt change them. anything without an amp aftermarket wont sound any good - unless you upgrade to the bose factory system. stock speakers are actually really good!

Oh, he jelly!

I'm actually happy with the standard stuff. Upgrading speakers will be one of the last things I do, and I'll get some decent splits and an amp.

The standard system has splits anyway, unless mine got upgraded in Japan?

standard has splits.

i even went to the extent of buying new speakers, but just never bothered as i was never unhappy with the stock ones.

Is that those Maestro ones you were trying to shift for ages?

Also, where is everyone today? Either they've all got scared off by the aggro full moon stuff that's been going on lately, or people are actually busy at work! Oh no!

Normally a hive of activity during the day.

yeh i got rid of them eventually. its hard to find sellers for speakers as everyone is usually customed to their own brands. I dont think German Maestro is a well known brand, but those who know it, know they are one of the best brands out there. all about upselling lol

your sort of right, but you have names mixed up.

MB Quart - old stuff, hand made in germany. blue prints where then sold to German Maestro. MBQuart company was then taken over by china, and went to shit. MBQuart older stuff is really good, newer stuff is poor.

German Mestro are using the original mbquart bluprint(the good ones) and are producing them. which are good. there was never a bad German Maestro. but you will find some people with biased opinions as there are different brands that are preffered by different people.

the entry level GM stuff i think may get their parts from china. but why would you want entry level :rolleyes:

hey are you saying i should keep the standard deck and speakers or just the speakers, the problem i have is that the original deck cd player isnt working and yes it is the single din system with splits in the front i dont really want the bose system too much to change.

and ill be happy if you think the standard is good enough i am quite happy with the sound or will i loose that if i change the deck i know they do match the speakers to the deck when they do the initial set up in newer cars.:whistling:

I had a mini disc player in mine, upgraded to a dvd player and left the standard speakers, pretty happy with the end result.

Do you have the TV screen?

you will loose quality if you dont upgrade WITH Amps. my thought anyway. my cd player doesnt work well either, i ended up getting the ipod connection kit and it works fine. all the speakers lol.

my opinion, it was the best $150 i spent. used every time i drive.

You mean if you upgrade speakers and deck?

Mine sounds fine with standard speakers and Clarion deck.

      Out here E90s are the cheapest way into a sporty-ish car because everyone knows just how expensive the repairs can get. 8-10k USD for an automatic 335i.

      Noted. Have noticed BMW are more 'high maintenance' for sure. They've attracted my attention as I think the used car prices seem reasonable vs other options, and the extra quality overall vs a commodore / camry / corolla or similar of the same vintage is appealing, especially the interior, and they are more on the sporty side whereas the others mentioned can be more cruising or economical A-to-B only.

      Haha yeah I know, this is SAU after all, why are we talking about BMW's of all things!? I hear you on the 'don't have to worry about it' side of things. Having been fortunate enough to be have been able to buy a brand new motorbike or two...never really enjoyed them as much as I'd have liked as you worry so much about where you park it, will it get scratched, stolen, attempted theft, knocked over, etc...and yes dirty. Older less valuable bikes you can just go where you want and park it wherever and not really worry that much in comparison. And who cares if it gets dirty! Never owned a V8, and have had my eyes on VE / VF commodores for years but with their prices climbing so high, the M3 has come into focus more as prices are much closer than I've ever seen...is it a potential contender now?...of course need to factor in the S65 'maintenance' especially and like you said general M car 'tax'. One can dream anyway. But more on the reality front - did read the whole 330i thread as well and was a great read too, both threads enlightening as I've never even driven one of these cars! I do recall 330i didn't seem to have the same amount of issues for almost the same car (turbos and related differences notwithstanding)...perhaps down to getting it earlier in it's life so looked after better than the 335i? Perhaps so as your 130i has been good and quite similar, so finding a car that's been looked after well is the especially-crucial-BMW-first-step.

      Nice. Dont worry about the time of not running. My current skyline hasn't run since I bought it. About 8 years ago.

      It's also worth noting that I am heavily and unconditionally biased. I've had a lot of cars including some GTRs a fair while ago. I love my BMW's now a lot. They make no sense a lot of the time and the guys on here remind me regularly that I could get something else that does what I want better and cheaper. If you're going to take on an older BMW it's definitely a commitment. If you bail on it early you'll lose money and also the ability for it to put a smile on your face. Stick with it and it just gets better.  f**k I should get into advertising.
